Plant Diversity

• What are the categories of Plants that exist?

2
Kingdom Plantae
Non-vascular Plants (Bryophytes) (no transport
tissues present)
Vascular Plants (Tracheophytes) (have vascular
tissue)
Seedless Plants
Seed Plants
Angiosperms (flowering plants)
Gymnosperms
Monocots
Dicots

Nonvascular Plants -- Bryophytes

• Simplest of plants
• Have no vascular (transport) tissues no true
  stems, leaves, or roots
• Stay small and close to ground need to be near
  water to survive (absorption and reproduction)
• Have alternation of generation present for
  reproduction sporophytes (produce spores) and
  gametophytes (produce gametes)
• Ex. Mosses, liverworts, hornworts

Vascular Plants -- Tracheophytes

• Most commom and widespread of land plants
• Have true vascular tissues -- xylem and phloem
  -- that allow true organs to develop roots,
  stems, leaves
• Xylem carries water and minerals in a plant
• Phloem carries nutrients in a plant
• Two categories seedless and seed plants

11
Seedless plants

• Ex. Ferns
• Since dont have seeds, need LOTS of water for
  fertilization USE SPORES TO REPRODUCE FOR
  MAJORITY OF LIFE gametes are used only for a
  short period of time
• Display alternation of generations part of time
  is asexual (uses spores), part is sexual (uses
  gametes)

Seed Plants Gymnosperms and Angiosperms

• Gymnosperms naked seed plants most ancient
  of seed plants produce cones with seeds inside
• Ex. Gnetophytes, cycads, ginkgoes, conifers
• Angiosperms covered seed plants (these produce
  flowers.then fruits that have the seeds inside
  fruits provide seed protection and better
  guarantees seed dispersal when eaten by animals)
• Ex. Roses, apple trees, squash, azaeleas,
  grasses

Presence of a seed allows for reproduction
free of water.

Angiosperms

• Groups 1. Monocots and Dicots
• 2. Woody and Herbaceous plants
• 3. Annuals, Biennials, Perennials
• Groups based on
• 1. number of seed leaves in embryo
• 2. characteristics of their stems
• 3. lifespan of plants
